The First Real Infrared Cameras with Thermal, Visible, and MSX Imaging Starting Under $1K

Now you can afford the ultimate home inspection tool. Gain the competitive advantage, get more done, and take care of more customers. Blow them away with dramatic MSX thermal images that clearly reveal where missing insulation, air leaks, and moisture intrusion are hiding -- convincing evidence that shows where to make repairs to improve energy efficiency, structural integrity, and comfort. An E4, E5, E6 or E8 can help you solve problems and save money for property owners, leading to greater credibility and opportunities.

Your Vision Is About to Go Thermal
FLIR thermal imaging cameras let you see amazing things that your eyes alone can’t, taking you beyond the visible spectrum into the infrared world of hot and cold. With the power to detect and visualize heat issues, a FLIR can show you where potential trouble is brewing. By using a thermal imager to help you find hidden problems early, you have a chance to get them fixed before they cause “self-evident” damage, waste more energy, hurt someone, or shut things down.

Which Camera is Right for You?
Whether you’re new to infrared inspections or already a Level III thermographer, a variety of important factors will figure into your thermal camera decision: how often you use the camera, what you’re inspecting, the angles you’re shooting from, target size, high temperatures, distance, and other considerations. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you determine the right fit for your application, budget, and the way you like to work.

Consider the insulation contractor who got off to a fast start with a low-cost i7 and quickly became known for finding all kinds of ways to help people save on their energy bills. Needing to add a second camera to keep pace, he chose an E60 for its higher IR detail, built-in digital camera, and MSX® enhancement for clearer documentation. The FLIR app connectivity to his iPad made it easier to show results to customers. And the 320 x 240 image clarity improved his web site.

Obviously, different requirements mean one thermal imager may or may not fit all. So, along with this guide, we encourage you to consult with your FLIR dealer or representative who will gladly help you hone your decision.

MSX: A Bold New Form of Thermal Imaging
If you plan to share saved images with customers or co-workers, a thermal image alone isn’t always enough to help them understand what they’re seeing. That’s why FLIR developed MSX ® Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging to bring together the best of both spectrums in a striking, innovative way. Now onboard the full line of new FLIR E-Series and T-Series cameras, MSX instantaneously generates a definitive, all-in-one thermal picture that easily orients you to the location of the problem as soon you see it on the screen or in a report. No more guesswork or messing around with extra photos.

Thermal Imaging for Building Diagnostics
FLIR infrared cameras give you the power to make the invisible visible. With thermal imaging, you can see, detect, and document telltale temperature differences that show moisture damage, missing insulation, air drafts, nests in walls, and more.

Thermal imagers from FLIR can help you find hidden building problems faster than any other technology, and produce customized reports to justify and validate the quality of repair work.

The First Real Infrared Cameras with Thermal, Visible, and MSX Imaging Starting Under $1K

Now you can afford the ultimate inspection tool. Gain the competitive advantage and take care of more customers. Blow them away with dramatic MSX thermal images that clearly reveal problems from sources of energy loss, moisture intrusion and structural issues to overheating electrical and mechanical equipment.

MSX® Thermal Image Enhancement

MSX adds key details from the onboard visible light camera to the entire infrared image in real time. The result: an all-in-one thermal picture with numbers, labels, and other structural features intact so you’ll instantly recognize where the heat issue is.

Affordable Resolution Choices

From the 4800-pixel thermal image clarity of the E4 to the E8’s incredible 320×240 detector with 76,800 pixels, new FLIR Ex-Series cameras offer a resolution to fit the target size, working distance, and detail required for your application as well as your budget.

The Power of One Button

A focus-free lens and simple button navigation to on-screen settings, imaging modes, measurement tools, and saved JPEGS make all four of these cameras amazingly easy to operate, even with just the press of a single gloved thumb.

Removable Battery

Quick-release, tool-type Li-ion battery is easy to remove, recharge and snap back in. Charge in-camera or with the optional charging station to keep you up and running all day.

Fast Temperature Measurement Tools

The E4 on up feature an on-screen center spotmeter for measuring temperatures. The E5, E6, and E8 also give you an area box tool with an automatic hot or cold spot that hunts down temperature extremes. And the E6 and E8 provide a blue-below and red-above color alarm to quickly alert you to heat issues.

Multiple Imaging Modes

All Ex-Series cameras let you view thermal, visual, and MSX images and store them simultaneously for further analysis using FLIR Tools software. The E6 and E8 also offer Picture-in-Picture that inserts the thermal image over the visible photo as an extra documentation option.

Q: What are measurement modes for E8?A: There are 3 modes, center spot, box (area) min and max, and Isoterm.

Q: Is the MSX Technology on the E8?A: Yes, It's on all Flir cameras now it used to be only available on the high end, high performance T series cameras.

Q: I have a MAC, is it compatible?A: Yes, these units are compatible with most systems including IOS, MAC etc.

Q: What"s the pixel count on the E8?A: The camera is 320 x 240 or 76,800 pixels.

Q: What is thermal sensitivity on the Flir E8?A: The thermal sensitivity of the Flir E8 is .06C.

Q: Is field of view better on an E8 than in previous units?A: The majority of Flir cameras are shipped with a 25 degree lens but the E8 now have a 45 degree lens standard so there is no need for optional optics if you need a greater FOV. Why does this matter? Wide a wide angle lens you can see more of the picture at the same time.

Q: What applicatons would benefit most from the Flir E8 thermal imager?A: The answer is simple. Anything or anyone who needs high pixel count and greater viewing range then most other cameras. For example roofers, home imspector, industrial matainance or anyone who needs to take shots of large walls, rooms, exterior shots of of larger objects. The applications are almost limitless. If you need to measure temperarture and see a more complete picture, you may have an application for a thermal imager.
